THE Journal: A major association of math teachers has issued a call for rethinking math education in pre-K–12. Among the recommendations: to stop the practice of student and teacher tracking and to focus on "essential concepts" that every student should understand.
The appeal came in response to flat high school math scores for NAEP that haven't changed in four decades. As "Catalyzing Change in High School Mathematics: Initiating Critical Conversations" pointed out, the majority of students (59 percent) aren't ready for college math. The report was developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics with input from high school teachers, district leaders, university faculty and mathematicians.
